To Marry a Chinaman

A Washington dispatch says: The
mystery coneerfsssg the two ladies who
have appeared SO conspicuously in pub
lie as the honored guests of the Chinese
Legation has been solved by friend of
one of the attaches of the Legation.
He says the younger lady is the fiancee
of Mr.. LANG, one of the Interpreters of
the Legation. She is the daughter of a
New York family. Her companion in
Washington is Mrs. James Lewis, wife
of the theatrical manager. MIR. LANG
is a graduate of Amhert College. he
speaks English we'll. He is an enthusi-
astic base ball player, and was a mem
Der of the Amherst nine when IN col
lege. He is one of the handsomest
members of the Legation. He IS fully
six feet in height, with broad shoulders,
deep chest and weil-formed, athletic
body. He has pleasant face, which IS
clean shaver and clear olive in color.
His hair is jet black. He wears the
queue reaching almost to the bottom of
his blue silk skirts. He wears the most
delicate shade of blue brocaded silk.
When he was III college he wore the
dress of modern civilization, but he was
obliged to return to Chinese dress after
leaving school.
There is a complicated etiquette relat
ing to the wives Of the Chinese officials
to which an American woman would not
submit 1t is probable that Mr.. LANG,
when married, will live outside of the
Legation. Mr.. Yung Wing, former
attache of the Legation, who married
an American wife, lived in a separate
house from the Legation building.

On the Far Pacific.

The development of the resources of
our Pacific coast is quite as remarkable
in its way; but the actual figures of the
census will not be so sensational. Cali
fornia was a mining region originally.
It's first contribute to the wealth of
the world was in the millions of gold it
poured into all the channels of trade
throughout the world. But mining Is
Ow one of the least of the industries Of
the region beyond the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. Gram growing, fruit raising,
stock breeding are now the main sources
of its wealth. The mining boom pro
duced unwholesome social disturbances.
But the industries on which the people
of the Pacific coast now depend are more
normal in their character. 1t is q mar
velously beautiful country, and IN the
fullness of time will develop race equal
10 the very choicest people of the East
1t is probably the most wholesome
country in the world. AS sanitarium,
there is nothing equal to Southern Cali
fornia TO be found anywhere. 1t is des-
tined to support dense agricultural
population, for small farms of fifteen
and twenty acres will produce as much
wealth in the way OF fruits, nuts, grapes,
olives, and other valuable articles, as
will hundreds of acres devoted to grain
in other parts of the country. Then,
some time or other, a mighty commerce
will be developed on the Pacific Ocean.
China, Japan and Hindostan fairly
swarm with human beings whose com
mercial wants have not yet been devel-
oped. Then there is growing up in the
British colonies on the Pacific tens of
millions OF Anglo Saxons whose instinct
it is to ego down to the sea in ships"
The vast trade of the Atlantic Ocean
will in the next century be far out
stripped by the mightier commerce OF
the Pacific, which of course will enrich
our descendants on the American Pacific
coast. Denl0reSt's Monthly.

A Hint to the BoOdlers.

And now O'Neill, another of the New
York Doodle aldermen, goes to prison a!
a reward for his misdeeds
The first thought that occurs to O'Neil
must be that he is in good company
Some have gone before, but there are
many others who will yet see the inside
of prison walls, when the whole truth
| comes ont.
Sill, it must be CALLING to Doodle
alderman to find his fellows pointing at
him in virtuous horror. He must feel
very much as Massena felt when he was
charged with peculation. Massena had
heen recalled from Italy by Bonaparte,
then first consul, and in the presence oil
several general officers he was sternly
reprimanded for his corrupt practices
At the conclusion of Bonaparte's talk
Massena bowed and SAID:
81 am a thiefr'
"Thcn fixing his eye on Bonaparte,
with another bow, he said:
"Thou art thief"
Looking next at General Murat, h
continued:
''HG is a thief"
Then regarding the whole brilliant
circle o officers, he exclaimed:
1--WE are all thieves"
lie then quietly retired, saying to
Bonaparte:
Eyes, citizen consul, they are al
thieves; such is the character of the re.
public!'
1t is said that this singular defence
saved Massena from further prosecution,
The next Doodle alderman who finds
himself in trouble would do well to
profit by the Frenchman's audacity.

the explosion 1t would not be difficult

A Terrible Panther.

For the past two weeks the inhabit-
ants of the secluded village of Humph,
rey, near Olean, have been terror-stricken
by the almost nightly visits of a huge
pan ther. The hamlet is situated in q
valley almost completely surrounded by
mountains covered with dense forests.
A large number of sheep, hogs and calves
have Been destroyed by the panther,
and several persons narrowly escaped
with their lives. A farmer named Whit
ney was imprisoned in small outbuild-
ing one night and nearly frozen. The
panther stood guard at the door while
devouring a sheep. Whitney's family
heard his cries for assistance, but dared
not venture out of the house. A church
congregation which had assembled at
the schoolhouse, one evening last week,
was imprisoned for three hours by the
panther All the male inhabitants
plucked up courage last Tuesday and
armed with ancient shotguns, rusty
rifles and various other weapons, and
led by mongrel pack of dogs, they
hunted the panther. The dogs discov-
cred the beast in a ravine IN the dense
woods, three miles from the village. He
took refuge in a tall hemlock, but not
before he had killed two of the most
courageous ours. Then from a safe dis
lance a volley of musket balls and buck
shot was fired into the tree where the
animal was partly hidden from sight.
Some of the balls took effect and with a
scream of pain the panth fell to the
ground and expired. He was monster,
measuring eight feet from head to tail

A Sweet That Isn't Sugar.

One of the most surprising and pro-
badly useful elements found in petro-
leum is a chemical compound, called
saccharin 1t was discovered by the
merest chance, by couple of chemists
who were making experiments with min
eral oil. Sugar, it will be remembered,
is hydrocarbon, and so is oil. Yet al
though chemically with the same com
ponents, sugar is not oil. Saccharin,
though not sugar, may replace the use
of the cane and the grape for fweeten
ing purposes. 1t is now very dear sub
stance, but few grains have as much
swee ening value as have ounces of
sugar. The process of making it will in
time become cheap, and then the grow
ing of sugar-cane, so largely done by
slave and contract labor may be dis
pensed with. The new substance will
have a medicinal value also, for dlabe-
tics, who cannot use sugar, may sweeten
their tea and coffee with saccharin, with
out injury. The chief value of this dis
covery, however, is, that it adds to the
number of organic substances which can
be made artifcially by man. Time was
when it was supposed that nature alone
supplied organic materials fit for food {;
but if a sweetening substa ce can be
produced artifcially, why not all the
the dietary of our tables? Science has
worked marvels in the world outside of
man. but its greatest triumphs will be
when it is applied to man himself. -

A Young Monarch's Slaves.
THE HOST WHICH GUARDS THE ,HAREM
OF THE CHINESE EMPEROR.

1 have been told that there are about
5000 slaves ins the Chinese Emperor's
putace, figure which it is, of course,
very difficult to control, says the Pekin
correspondent of Paris paper. i he
number, however, must be large, since
that class of individuals is alone called
upon to fill posts which everywhere else
are usually given men. Their business
is to keep sharp watch over the Emper-
Cr's harem, an institution OF no great
service for the lime being, since His
Majesty is vet a minor, but in view of
its becoming seIviceable some dav, and
to meet homage to the rites of religion.
The Empress selects the young beau
ties admitted into this Chinese seraglio,
and she has to renew the personnel
every three years. These young girls
are recruited among the families of the
Mandchou officers. who look upon the
honor of having the prettiest of their
daughters in the imperial harem as a
means of attaining high rank. These
Young ladies make their debut at the
age of fourteen, and remain inside the
harem until they are twenty five years
Old.
If in the interval they give offspring
they by rights become daughters of
the imperial blood" and remain bound
with the fate of the child, for he my
become "Son of Heaven, and a SOW

the other hand, the young lady reaches
the age of twenty-five without yielding

The Whispering Stones.
A MIsCHIEvoUs PAGE PLAYS HAVOC WITH
THE FEELINGS OF A BRIDE.

A Washington letter says: Among
the first curiosities shown the visitors
to the Capital are the whispering stones
in the Statuary Hall, which used to be
the old House OF Representatives. One
of the most curious of these stones is
the long distance one. The stone is
near the north door of the hall, while
the person who talks must stand on the
threshold of the doorway of the south
entrance, some twenty feet away. Any
one standing on the stone near the north
door can hear the familiar whispers ut
tered ON the doorsteps of the south door.
The other day BRIDE and groom were
among the visitors. They were from
New York, and one of the groom's
friends was showing them around. OF
course, he was explaining the whisper
ing stones to them. The bride was on
the north stone and the friend stood
upon the steps of the south door. He
was whispering to her several little
things Of interest about the hall. She
had her back towards him. A page
from the House came along and got in
terested in the conversation Suddenly
he thought he, too, would talk to the
bride. and when the friend stopped for
an instant, the page said: ''Say, old
girl, how old are you, anyhow 2 As
quick as lightning the bride hoped of
the whispering stone. Her face was
crimson with bushes, and she took her
husbands arm and walked off. The
friend had heard the pages remark and
saw the result, but before he could grab
the boy, the naughty page had fled.
He followed his friend and his young
bride and tried his best to explain mat
tiers, but somehow the bride doubted
his story.
